Cannot Install Internet Explorer Using Custom Signed .cab Files

Article ID: 196261

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q196261

SYMPTOMS

After you create custom .cab files for Internet Explorer Setup using the Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK), you may not be able to install Internet Explorer using the custom Setup on a computer running UNIX for Sun Solaris or HPUX.

CAUSE

Custom Signing requires support for individual certificates. This support is not currently available on UNIX platforms.

RESOLUTION

When you add custom components to an IEAK package, the custom .cab files should not be signed. Internet Explorer for UNIX Setup cannot extract custom components with a different signature from the downloaded built-in .cab files. If you have already created custom .cab files with signatures, you must re-create them without signatures.
